Conor McLaughlin, Dion Charles and Tre Sterling all featured for Northern Ireland in the recent round of international fixtures over the weekend.

McLaughlin played 77 minutes for the senior side in their comfortable 4-0 triumph over minnows San Marino before being replaced by Paddy McNair.

Charles came on as a late substitute for Northern Ireland’s under 21 side in their 1-1 draw with Ukraine. Elsewhere, Sterling made his debut for Northern Ireland’s under 19 team as they recorded a 2-1 win away in Macedonia.
